Do you find yourself sugar-seeking as soon as the clock strikes three? Then this post is for you.

Personally, I only need one reason to eat dark chocolate: BECAUSE I LOVE IT! But seeing as Valentine's Day is around the corner, and it is essentially a day full of teddy bears, flowers an chocolate I thought I would share some fun health benefits of dark chocolate.

I don't think a day goes bye that at least one client doesn't say to me, "my child is a fussy eater". And then they reach school age and we have to work out how to pack a lunchbox that won't come back still full. Sound familiar?

 If you're like me and no doubt, thousands of adults around the world, shopping is the bane of your existence. For many of my clients there is an added layer of agony that comes with grocery shopping and that is "what should and shouldn't I buy?". Whilst I do not subscribe to the notion of excluding foods or buying tonnes of so called superfoods, there are some really simple tips that I'd love to impart, that will ease your grocery shopping agony.

How many times a day do you hear "mum I'm hungry!", every day? Yep, its school holidays! They are full of fun, full of chaos, and full of "mum, I',m hungry!". Honestly, if I received just $1 for every time someone asked me for food every day during the school holidays, I could just retire early.

This is my first blog post for 2017 because its been a bit of a "tools down" affair here at Chez Pollak over the summer. Last year was a massive year after submitting my Masters thesis looking at diet and postnatal depression. And my family were incredibly patient with me while I was overtired, stressed and had very little 'free time'.
